SUMMARY:FOOD FOR LANDSCAPES: RECIPES FOR SLOW DISASTERS / EXHIBITION
DESCRIPTION:The Activation\n\n\n\nJoin artist Andrew Merritt\, collaborator Loubie Rusch\, and participants from the Lynedoch Valley for a conversation exploring recipes for biocultural repair. Visitors will be invited to sample flavours and discuss the project’s evolving map and foods of regeneration – asking questions such as “What food does the landscape need?” and “How can shared acts of making and eating restore broken relationships between people and place?”This interactive event is part of the wider exhibition throughout Design Week (23 to the 26 October) at Church House that is free and open to the public.Developed in collaboration with Loubie Rusch of the Sustainability Institute in Lynedoch\, the installation emerges from a field activation in the Lynedoch Valley where local participants traced the changing relationship between people\, place\, and food across time. Through maps\, tasting samples\, and visual artefacts\, the work reveals how colonial agriculture\, climate pressures\, and social inequalities have reshaped the valley’s ecological identity – and invites the public to consider what it means to cook\, eat\, and design for landscape healing.The exhibition is supported by the British Council\, Design Week South Africa\, and the Centre of Excellence in Food Security.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere: Church House\, 1 Queen Victoria St\, Cape Town City Centre\, Cape Town \n\n\n\nOpen the Design Week South Africa map \n\n\n\nWhen: Thursday 23 October at 10:00 – Sunday 26 October at 16:00 \n\n\n\nBookings: Open to all to attend.

SUMMARY:STREET EXHIBITION: ISOMETRIC DRAWINGS WITH PAUL EDMUNDS / EXHIBITION
DESCRIPTION:The Activation\n\n\n\nAn isometric grid allows for the depiction of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional plane. Paul Edmunds makes use of that in these drawings\, but they remain open-ended — straddling structure and formlessness\, surface and illusionism.\n\n\n\n​Willem Boshoff’s exploration of form and language in his carved Blind Alphabet provided some inspiration\, and Sol LeWitt’s wall drawings are never far away from his studio. Closer to home\, it was at EST Graphics in the late 1990s that Edmunds first encountered isometric graph paper\, when Bree Street could still support small\, independent businesses. He has since recreated the paper for these works\, anchoring the series in memory\, material\, and place.\n\n\n\n​Presented as part of Design Week Cape Town at the Open City Architects\, 163 Bree Street\, the exhibition invites visitors to explore how geometry\, craft\, and recollection intersect on the city’s changing grid.\n\n\n\nWhen: Thursday\, 23 October from 8:00 – 17:00 \n\n\n\nWhere: Open City Architects\, 163 Bree Street\, Cape Town \n\n\n\nOpen the Design Week South Africa map \n\n\n\nOpen to all.
